Lyrics
If you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold You're not alone (Not alone) But you oughta realize that every myth Is a metaphor (Metaphor) In the case of Christianity And Judaism there exists belief That spiritual matters are enslaved to history The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects Override the myth (Override the myth) While other religions use the literal core To build foundations with (Foundations with) See, half the world sees the myth as fact It's seen as a lie by the other half, and The simple truth is that it's none of that, 'cause Somehow, no matter what, the world keeps turning Somehow we get by without ever learning Somehow, no matter what, the world keeps turning Somehow we get by without ever learning Science and religion Are not mutually exclusive In fact for better understanding We take the facts of science and apply them And if both factors keep evolving Then we continue getting information But closing off possibilities Makes it hard to see the bigger picture Consider the case of the woman whose faith Helped her make it through She was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk But her beliefs held true Doesn't matter if it's real or not Some things are better left without a doubt, and And if it works then it gets the job done Somehow, no matter what, the world keeps turning Somehow we get by without ever learning Somehow, no matter what, the world keeps turning Somehow we get by without ever learning We get by, we get by, we get by Without ever learning anything We get by, we get by, we get by Without ever learning
